sections by Ch. 534, Acts of 1970, minor,
apparently unintended, differences in language
were created. The Administration treats these
counterpart criteria identically — as is the
apparent intent — and, therefore, their
language is conformed.
Present Art. 66 1/2, §3-110(6) permits the
Administration to refuse a certificate of
title if it determines that the vehicle is
"mechanically unfit and unsafe to be
operated". This criterion, which is
duplicated in §13-406 of this title as to
registration, is deleted here. Although
mechanical fitness and safety is an important
consideration in the registration and
consequent operation of a vehicle, it was not
intended as a proper consideration for
refusing issuance of a certificate of title as
evidence of ownership. (In this regard,
compare Uniform Vehicle Code §3-110 with UVC
§3—406, where this distinction is made between
titling and registration; see, also, §13—705
of this title.) The erroneous listing
originated with Ch. 534, Acts of 1970, in
revising and bifurcating the combined and,
therefore, misleading titling/registration
provisions of prior Art. 66 1/2, §27. It
never has been used by the Administration as a
reason for refusing a certificate of title
and, consequently, is deleted in this
revision.
The only other changes are in style.
